It has been serialized in Shogakukan's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Sunday since January 1994, with its chapters collected in 102 tankōbon volumes as of September 2022. Due to legal problems with the name Detective Conan, the English language releases from Funimation and Viz were renamed to Case Closed. The story follows the high school detective Shinichi Kudo who was transformed into a child while investigating a mysterious organization and generally solved a multitude of cases by impersonating his childhood best friend's father and various other characters.

Plot

See also: List of Case Closed characters

Jimmy Kudo (Japanese name: Shinichi Kudo) is a high school detective who sometimes works with the police to solve cases.[2] During an investigation, he is ambushed and incapacitated by a member of a crime syndicate known as the Black Organization. In an attempt to murder the young detective, they force-fed him a dangerous experimental drug. However, instead of killing him, it turns him into a kid.[3] Adopting the pseudonym Conan Edogawa and keeping his true identity a secret, Kudo lives with his childhood friend Rachel Moore (Ran Mori) and her father Richard (Kogoro Mori), who is a private detective. Throughout the series, he tags along on Richard's cases. Nonetheless, after Kudo solves one, he will use Dr. Agasa's hidden tranquilizer to sedate Richard and then uses a voice changer to simulate his voice to reveal the solution.[4] He also enrolls in Teitan Elementary School where he makes friends with a group of classmates who form their own Junior Detective Club (Detective Boys). While he continues to dig deeper into the Black Organization, he frequently interacts with other characters, including his neighbor, Dr. Agasa, Ran's friend Serena Sebastian (Sonoko Suzuki), a fellow teenage detective Harley Hartwell (Heiji Hattori), assorted police detectives from different regions, and a phantom thief called the Kaito Kid.

Kudo later encounters an elementary school transfer student, Anita Hailey (Ai Haibara), who reveals herself to be a former member of the Black Organization under the code name "Sherry" and the creator of the experimental drug that shrunk him. She too had ingested it to evade the pursuit of the organization.[5] She soon joins the Junior Detectives. During a rare encounter with the Black Organization, Conan helps the FBI plant a CIA agent, Kir, inside the Black Organization as a spy.[6]

Production

Case Closed was conceived in 1994, during the rise of mystery genre manga due to the publishing of the series The Kindaichi Case Files; the first chapter appeared in Shogakukan's Weekly Shōnen Sunday on January 19.[7][8] Aoyama cites the stories of Arsène Lupin, Sherlock Holmes and the samurai films by Akira Kurosawa as influences on his work.[9] When scripting each chapter, he ensures the dialogue remains simple and spends an average of four hours for each new case and twelve for more complicated ones.[10][11] Aoyama's older brother is a scientist who helps him out with the "gimmicks" in the series.[12] Each case spans several chapters (except for a handful of shorter cases that only span one), and is resolved at the end where characters explain the details of their solutions in simple terms;[13] an online database consisting of all the cases from the manga was launched in 2007.[14][15] In 2007, Aoyama hinted he had an ending planned out but does not intend to end the series yet.[10] Aoyama and his staff decided to computerize their manga creation process in early 2011, although he still draws with a pen and paper.[16][17] The change began with the final page of chapter 760.[17]

Viz Media announced its acquisition of the series for North America on June 1, 2004.[24] Following Funimation's localization, Viz released the series as Case Closed and took their character names to keep consistency between the two media.[25] Viz Media released the first volume in September 2004 and began releasing digital editions in 2013.[26][27] Gollancz licensed and distributed 15 of Viz Media's volumes in the United Kingdom before ceasing publication of manga.

The manga has also been localized in other regions such as China, France, Germany and Indonesia.[31][32][33][34] (Localizations in Scandinavia ceased one by one, Finland being the last in 2013, when the publisher shut down the entire manga division).[35][36][37][38]

Historical and cultural significance

Case Closed began its publication during the "Lost Decade", which was a long period of economic recession in Japan during the 1990s after the economic bubble of the 1980s burst.[209] During this period, Japan also saw an increase in violent crimes committed by teenagers which was a growing cause for concern.[210] The political and cultural turmoil of this period contributed to the widespread popularity of Case Closed in Japan, where audiences wished to escape from these crises.[211] The "boy detective" trope made a resurgence in this decade and has remained popular since.[211] The story of Case Closed is often read as an optimistic view of the capacity of children to improve society and to inspire hope for the future.[211] The adult detectives and police officers in Case Closed are shown to be inept at solving crimes and it is ultimately Conan and the Junior Detective Club who solve cases and inspire the child audience to do the same.[212] This can influence children and young adults’ perceptions of the police and other authorities.[212] It can also generate a positive view of vigilante justice and anti-police sentiments in children that may undermine authoritative figures.[212]

Case Closed has clear influences from western and eastern cultures, and it attempts to unite the two and show a modernized Japan.[213] The designs of the characters in Case Closed are inspired by western styles, such as Conan and Richard's suits or Rachel's hairstyle, while the backgrounds show a modern, urbanized Japanese landscape.[213] At the same time, characters also take part in traditional Japanese customs such as using chopsticks when eating or using traditional greetings when characters return to their homes. These practices demonstrate to the audience that modernity and tradition can function together.[213]

Case Closed uses Japanese pop music (J-pop) in its opening and ending songs. Prior to the mid 1990s, anime music was considered its own genre and was separate from J-pop.[214] Case Closed was one of the first anime programs to include J-pop specifically in the program.[214] As a result, today J-pop is much more commonly used in anime and J-pop artists frequently use anime as a promotional platform for their work.[214]

Case Closed features Japanese landmarks throughout the show as the setting for many episodes. The characters visit religious temples,[215] beaches,[216] mountain ranges[217] and many other real and fictionalized locations in Japan that demonstrate the country's natural beauty and historical landmarks. Case Closed episodes also include elements of Japanese folklore such as the Tengu[218] and the Shinigami,[219] as well as more globally recognizable figures like aliens[220] and vampires.[221] However, the existence of these creatures is always debunked as part of the criminal's plan in an episode.

Critical response

In the United States, Case Closed received praises from Mania.com's Eduardo M. Chavez and IGN's A. E. Sparrow for its stories—telling the mysteries and how they were unfolded by the investigations of Conan and gang. Sparrow called the style of the series a mix of Scooby-Doo and Sherlock Holmes, while Chavez believed the manga had appeal to readers of all ages.[222][223] Melissa Sternenberg from THEM Anime Reviews gave the series 5 out of 5 stars, she praised its animation and plot, and described it as "what puts Detective Conan as my all-time favorite anime is the superb writing. I soak up Detective Conan like a good book, I get so drawn into every episode that everything around me just sinks away and it is just me and the episode. It is engrossing. I can not think of another word for it. Like I said, every episode is fresh, and every mystery that is solved is profound. The kid is a prodigy, and you can not blink while watching an episode of this wonderful series".[224]

ActiveAnime's reviewers commented on complex character design and the "spirit" that the series has, indicating that fans of serialized mystery shows would rather enjoy it. The series is also said to better suit the more matured audience.[225][226] Lori Lancaster of Mania.com described Case Closed as "a clever series that had mysteries at every corner", noting the "bizarre" and "interesting" nature of each case.[227] IGN's Chris Wyatt was positive to the manner the cases were set up, relating them to Agatha Christie's locked-room mysteries. He described the series as "Inspector Gadget meets Law & Order but in an anime style".[228]

In the United States, the dubbed series faced several negative reactions toward its changes to localize the content for international English-speaking audiences, mostly North American. Jeffrey Harris of IGN found it pointless to change the names of the characters, and Anime News Network's Carl Kimlinger said that the changes of certain Japanese cultural references rendered several parts of the mysteries and their investigation illogical.[229][230] The voice-overs proved to be a mixed bag for Carlo Santos, who reviewed the first DVD release of Case Closed for Anime News Network; he said that while the main characters sounded like "real people", the secondary ones "[came] off as caricatures".[231]

Accolades

The Case Closed manga series was awarded the 46th Shogakukan Manga Award in the shōnen category in 2001.[232] It respondents in an online poll for Japanese citizens in their mid-twenties voted Case Closed as one of the top three manga they wanted to continue running in publication.[233][234][235] In France, the series was nominated for the Angoulême Festival Graphic Novel award among the Japanese selection.[236] The series ranked on About.com's top continuing manga series of 2010, under the title "Best Underappreciated Gem: Shonen" category.[237]

Several of the franchise's films were nominated for awards in their home country. The ninth film was nominated for the feature film category at the 5th Annual Tokyo Anime Awards, and the next five films were nominees for the Japan Academy Prize for Animation of the Year in their respective years of release.[238][239][240][241][242][243]

Historical and cultural significance Edit Case Closed began its publication during the Lost Decade which was a long period of economic recession in Japan during the 1990s after the economic bubble of the 1980s burst 209 During this period Japan also saw an increase in violent crimes committed by teenagers which was a growing cause for concern 210 The political and cultural turmoil of this period contributed to the widespread popularity of Case Closed in Japan where audiences wished to escape from these crises 211 The boy detective trope made a resurgence in this decade and has remained popular since 211 The story of Case Closed is often read as an optimistic view of the capacity of children to improve society and to inspire hope for the future 211 The adult detectives and police officers in Case Closed are shown to be inept at solving crimes and it is ultimately Conan and the Junior Detective Club who solve cases and inspire the child audience to do the same 212 This can influence children and young adults perceptions of the police and other authorities 212 It can also generate a positive view of vigilante justice and anti police sentiments in children that may undermine authoritative figures 212 Case Closed has clear influences from western and eastern cultures and it attempts to unite the two and show a modernized Japan 213 The designs of the characters in Case Closed are inspired by western styles such as Conan and Richard s suits or Rachel s hairstyle while the backgrounds show a modern urbanized Japanese landscape 213 At the same time characters also take part in traditional Japanese customs such as using chopsticks when eating or using traditional greetings when characters return to their homes These practices demonstrate to the audience that modernity and tradition can function together 213 Case Closed uses Japanese pop music J pop in its opening and ending songs Prior to the mid 1990s anime music was considered its own genre and was separate from J pop 214 Case Closed was one of the first anime programs to include J pop specifically in the program 214 As a result today J pop is much more commonly used in anime and J pop artists frequently use anime as a promotional platform for their work 214 Case Closed features Japanese landmarks throughout the show as the setting for many episodes The characters visit religious temples 215 beaches 216 mountain ranges 217 and many other real and fictionalized locations in Japan that demonstrate the country s natural beauty and historical landmarks Case Closed episodes also include elements of Japanese folklore such as the Tengu 218 and the Shinigami 219 as well as more globally recognizable figures like aliens 220 and vampires 221 However the existence of these creatures is always debunked as part of the criminal s plan in an episode Critical response Edit In the United States Case Closed received praises from Mania com s Eduardo M Chavez and IGN s A E Sparrow for its stories telling the mysteries and how they were unfolded by the investigations of Conan and gang Sparrow called the style of the series a mix of Scooby Doo and Sherlock Holmes while Chavez believed the manga had appeal to readers of all ages 222 223 Melissa Sternenberg from THEM Anime Reviews gave the series 5 out of 5 stars she praised its animation and plot and described it as what puts Detective Conan as my all time favorite anime is the superb writing I soak up Detective Conan like a good book I get so drawn into every episode that everything around me just sinks away and it is just me and the episode It is engrossing I can not think of another word for it Like I said every episode is fresh and every mystery that is solved is profound The kid is a prodigy and you can not blink while watching an episode of this wonderful series 224 ActiveAnime s reviewers commented on complex character design and the spirit that the series has indicating that fans of serialized mystery shows would rather enjoy it The series is also said to better suit the more matured audience 225 226 Lori Lancaster of Mania com described Case Closed as a clever series that had mysteries at every corner noting the bizarre and interesting nature of each case 227 IGN s Chris Wyatt was positive to the manner the cases were set up relating them to Agatha Christie s locked room mysteries He described the series as Inspector Gadget meets Law amp Order but in an anime style 228 In the United States the dubbed series faced several negative reactions toward its changes to localize the content for international English speaking audiences mostly North American Jeffrey Harris of IGN found it pointless to change the names of the characters and Anime News Network s Carl Kimlinger said that the changes of certain Japanese cultural references rendered several parts of the mysteries and their investigation illogical 229 230 The voice overs proved to be a mixed bag for Carlo Santos who reviewed the first DVD release of Case Closed for Anime News Network he said that while the main characters sounded like real people the secondary ones came off as caricatures 231 Accolades Edit The Case Closed manga series was awarded the 46th Shogakukan Manga Award in the shōnen category in 2001 232 It respondents in an online poll for Japanese citizens in their mid twenties voted Case Closed as one of the top three manga they wanted to continue running in publication 233 234 235 In France the series was nominated for the Angouleme Festival Graphic Novel award among the Japanese selection
